On Monday night, 360 showed footage of Longmire talking to Rampe after the game, telling him that a free should have been paid against him. So even Longmire knew the rule at the time.

Swans on Sen wanting to dispute both fines. We should dispute the four points. James would have. Screw diplomacy when your right.

I think we should. Again it’s not the same as a normal missed free during the game

 

[Beerfish]

And even though I'm sure it's been said already, imagine if that was a grand final. Ayyyy lmao

The commission can overturn it same as siren gate.


Or they could continue to let the integrity of the game turn to s**t

Exactly. Everyone send email to club!

Club would do nothing with Xavier in charge. AFL puppet with no kahunas.

As much as Eddie annoys me, he wouldn't have shut about it all week, same as Koch, although he's a bigger knob than Eddie.

Id take either of those 2 knobs when it comes to standing up for what you believe. I can't stand either of them but they don't just bend over and take it

10k fine but not worth a 50m penalty.

 

[JayJ20]

Could you imagine if shoe was on the other foot, Sydney and Longmire would be in tears demanding action.

Woosha’s right, this isn’t the same as a missed free kick during a game. In this case the umpire knew there was an infringement but made a choice not to pay it which is ridiculous

It’ll all be about Vicco bias

10k fine but not worth a 50m penalty.

$10k was for the mouthing off, $1k fully suspended was the fine for shaking the post (& the AFL's snide way of saying '* you all, we dont care')

It’ll all be about Vicco bias

Exactly, Giants get claims on academy kids that were not from anywhere near and then they cry that we have claims on Chris Johnson’s son

 

[JayJ20]

Looks like Essendon have asked the AFL to explain. We’ve probably gobbled that explanation up and moved on. A shame. I wanted the AFL to be held accountable for this.

Oh well. Until the next screw up I guess.

 

[fairbump_playon]

I want the QC’s in court. I want the 4 points. Not so much to screw the AFL. Just to have the 4 points.

 

[Hird05]

Pretty clear the 10k is the make an example and appease everyone upset with the afls stance, pretending they are all tough on Rampe, yet the 1k suspended is intentionally weak so they can claim the goal post issue wasn't a big deal. Typical manipulation of the 'optics'. ******* bunch of stooges. Gillion is pathetic. No better that the last crook that run the show.


Edit..
Booooooooooo

A picture of Fremantle practicing goal line defence for this weeks match.



Not to worry, the AFL will sign off on it, but outlaw it for any future matches.

What happens to the fine? Who does it go to? Does it go into the AFL coffers?

Just shown on 360 at the last bounce we had 5-6-6 with Francis running off the bench. Great tactic and nearly worked. Legal? The panel couldn’t decide.

it will be ok for the other teams but they will find a reason to penalise specifically us for it...

Perfectly legal as long as he doesn't enter the field until after the bounce

Bringing the game into disrepute or something I'm sure...

The panel were debating if 666 meant 666. Or could you have 3-6-6 with 3 running off the bench.

Off topic with all this talk of 666 I’m feeling a strong Iron Maiden vibe

 

[owen87]

Is it anti-Dons bias?

Not sure I’d go that far, just s**t umpiring and the AFL scrambling to defend it because umpires must always be right.

 

[KevDawg]

Nah it's easy. Just go to ground and provide other distractions if possible until the next games start and everybody will forget about it. Except us. But we're just a small fraction of the total football supporting number so we're easy to ignore. Just hope somebody else gets ****** over next and not us again. This sport is becoming an absolute farce.

It’s getting a lot of attention from across the afl.
